Should schools allow their students to choose what they want to study?

By Matthew Sebastian Kusnandar (Grade 12)

Do you prefer to choose your own subjects for school? Or do you prefer to choose the ones the school has provided? Well, different student may have different opinions. Some say that they prefer to choose their own subjects and the others are on the opposite side.

I believe every one is different and they have their own limits when it comes to studying. It might be hard to force students to reach beyond their limit for every subject. Therefore, I believe that schools should allow their students to choose specific subjects for them so they could focus to excel on those subjects.

However, it will be even better for schools to have both systems. It can provide students alternative ways to study at school. It can provide students with various needs as well. This might pose some problems to the school, but understanding that allowing students to choose the subjects they want to study will bring students to their maximum capacity, it is recommended for all schools to start considering applying this system.
